Zipp 404 Firecrest Clincher Shimano Matte Black Wheelset

The new 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher is built with a the latest version of the 188 rear hub (the V9). There is also a new spoke-lacing pattern that results in better stiffness and durability. Developed in cooperation of superstar sprinter Mark Cavendish of the Omega Pharma – Quick-Step Team, the new hub is also used by other top pro cyclists and triathletes including Pete Jacobs and Mirinda Carfrae. Cavendish tested them for 8,078 miles including his stage victories at the Giro d’Italia and the 2013 Tour de France. The new 188/V9 hub has larger precision Swiss steel bearings for increased durability. Our new “virtual 3 cross” lacing on both sides of rear wheel improves stiffness, achieving 3 cross stiffness in a 2 cross pattern with a new spoke geometry. The 188/V9 has 25 percent more torsional stiffness than a leading competitive hub. This measure of stiffness is crucial for the direct power transfer to the rear wheel for out-of-the saddle sprints and climbs. The new hub also is laterally (side-to-side) stiffer that its rival or predecessor.
